Magnolia vs Stampavie Challenge - Double Trouble

This weeks challenge is to use two stamps, either two Magnolia's or two Stampavie's or one of each as long as you have two different images on. Now me being me I had to get totally carried away lol and ended up using four Magnolia stamps - Tilda, the two birds and the little tag. I know you don't get pink birds but as I'm in a PINK mode, everything is pink including those poor little birds lol.I have used the scrummy Basic Grey Bittersweet papers and gone yet again for the pink and brown combo (boring I know but I'm loving this combo at the mo) The sentiment is from a Studio G set. I love these new Nesties but find them sadly lacking in decent sizes for layering. There is such a huge difference in size between each nestie that I decided to cut down the brown layer so it didn't overwhelm the card. (I've been spoiled by the first ones that came out and had such a good selection of sizes in the sets of four).

I attached the charm to the top flower with jump rings after seeing Kim do it on her cards - I love the idea!!

I used a heart from the same Studio G set and stamped on the pink layer on the inside of the card with chalk ink. The verse is computer generated, courtesy of Imag-e-nation who have some fab free verses.
